	9	This document aims to record the Perl source code releases.

	11	=head1 INTRODUCTION
	12
	13	Perl history in brief, by Larry Wall:
	14
	15	Perl 0 introduced Perl to my officemates.
	16	Perl 1 introduced Perl to the world, and changed /\(...\\|...\)/ to
	17	/(...\|...)/. \(Dan Faigin still hasn't forgiven me. :-\)
	18	Perl 2 introduced Henry Spencer's regular expression package.
	19	Perl 3 introduced the ability to handle binary data (embedded nulls).
	20	Perl 4 introduced the first Camel book. Really. We mostly just
	21	switched version numbers so the book could refer to 4.000.
	22	Perl 5 introduced everything else, including the ability to
	23	introduce everything else.

	37	=head2 PUMPKIN?
	38
	39	[from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution]
	40
	41	=for disclaimer orking cows is hazardous, and not legal in all jurisdictions
	42
	43	Chip Salzenberg gets credit for that, with a nod to his cow orker,
	44	David Croy. We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot
	45	potato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked:
	46
	47	[begin quote]
	48
	49	Who has the patch pumpkin?
	50
	51	To explain: David Croy once told me that at a previous job,
	52	there was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups.
	53	But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech
	54	method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin.
	55	No one was allowed to make backups unless they had the "backup pumpkin".
	56
	57	[end quote]
	58
	59	The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called
	60	the pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling
	61	the strings?).

	880
	881	The "diff lines kB" means that for example the patch 5.003_08, to be
	882	applied on top of the 5.003_07 (or whatever was before the 5.003_08)
	883	added lines for 110 kilobytes, it removed lines for 19 kilobytes, and
	884	changed lines for 424 kilobytes. Just the lines themselves are
	885	counted, not their context. The "+ - !" become from the diff(1)
	886	context diff output format.

	945	=head3 The patch-free era
	946
	947	In more modern times, named releases don't come as often, and as progress
	948	can be followed (nearly) instantly (with rsync, and since late 2008, git)
	949	patches between versions are no longer provided. However, that doesn't
	950	keep us from calculating how large a patch could have been. Which is
	951	shown in the table below. Unless noted otherwise, the size mentioned is
	952	the patch to bring version x.y.z to x.y.z+1.

	982
	983	Thanks to the collective memory of the Perlfolk. In addition to the
	984	Keepers of the Pumpkin also Alan Champion, Mark Dominus,
	985	Andreas KE<0xf6>nig, John Macdonald, Matthias Neeracher, Jeff Okamoto,
	986	Michael Peppler, Randal Schwartz, and Paul D. Smith sent corrections
	987	and additions. Abigail added file and patch size data for the 5.6.0 - 5.10
	988	era.
